Chapter 4

Jane looked at Joe and Matthew who were looking at each other. "What about my classes? I've got an eight o'clock class tomorrow morning!" Professor Adams stated in a shocked voice. He had apparently never missed a class since becoming tenured.

Lisbon got her 'are you kidding me' look on her face before stating quite firmly with authority ringing in her voice. "I'm sure my Director can call your Dean and tell him the situation. To be perfectly frank with you, our team has the most successful closure rating of any in the country. You may very well be needed to be kept safe in the coming investigation so when it comes to trial we have a live witness."

Jane saw something akin to shock and awe in Matthew's eyes. He was just beginning to really grasp the situation. His shock being that he was the killer and he knew that Jane knew. However, the awe came in at the thought that this tiny fiery woman really might solve the case no matter what he or Jane said or did. Patrick Jane also saw admiration there, and knew that, of course, a man like Matthew would love a strong woman. As long as it wasn't his strong woman. He could admire her all he wanted from a distance. Maybe it wasn't too late to take up fencing classes.
